Mill Creek Entertainment Readies Ten-Strong Price-To-Collect DVD Release Of Sweating Bullets: 10 Action-Packed Movies For Delivery On June 9

Mill Creek Entertainment has a deal for those in need of an adrenaline action film fix.   Ten edge-of-your-seat thrillers will be available as a double-disc DVD collection on June 9 for just $14.95.   Yes, you read that right, just $14.95 for ten action films … and this terrific deal comes with Digital Copy.

Titled Sweating Bullets: 10 Action-Packed Movies, we kick off this action romp with Eric Roberts and Armand Assante starring in the DVD debut of director Fred Carpenter’s The Night Never Sleeps.

The script comes from a former New York City police officer (Michael A. Lovaglio), and it is here, in his city, New York City, that we are introduced Detective Thomas Cavanaugh (Dan Brennan — Hunter’s Moon, Maggie Marvel) and follow him during one long night as he goes in pursuit of those who killed one of his fellow officers.   

Cavanaugh crosses paths with the seedy Hector (Eric Roberts), plus other criminal types, including the infamous “Iceman” (played by Russ Camarda — Hunter’s Moon, Under Surveillance), but as he and his partner, Officer Rourke (played by stunt woman Stephanie Finochio), work the streets their investigation points in a direction that fills them with anger.

Also included in this ten-film collection is one from Sandra Bullock that has been out of print for 15 years.   15 years!!  If you wanted to buy a used DVD copy on Amazon.com it could set you back close to $30.00, which is double what the entire collection from Mill Creek Entertainment — NEW — will set you cost you.

So what film are we talking about?   Sandra Bullock made a number of films in the early 1990s and then in the summer of 1994 hit it big with Speed.  

Now she is a star and that prompted the resurrection of a film that she apparently made in 1992 for writer/director Frank Rainone titled Who Do I Gotta Kill?, which was just sitting on the shelf.   It was dusted off, retitled as Me & the Mob and released theatrically in the New York market after Labor Day in 1994 to take advantage of her sudden stardom.

It’s basically a story about a writer named Jimmy Corona (James Lorinz — Frankenhooker, Last Exit to Brooklyn, and, who most recently had a small part as a “Teamster” in The Irishman), who joins the New York mob to get material for a book.   At one point Bullock, with a thick “Brooklyn” accent, strips down to next to nothing and has a wild sexual encounter with Jimmy.   And guess who else is in this film, none other that Steve Buscemi (who had shot Reservoir Dogs some time in late 1991 for Quentin Tarantino) … he has a small role.

There are two films right off the top … one, The Night Never Sleeps, making its DVD debut and one, Me & the Mob, featuring a near-naked Sandra Bullock that has been out of print since 2005.

Also included in the DVD collection of Sweating Bullets: 10 Action-Packed Movies are three films from cult filmmaker Fred Olen Ray — Maximum Revenge, featuring “Scream Queen” Michelle Bauer (Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold, Vampire Vixens from Venus, etc.) and the sensual Monique Parent (Busted, The Pornographer, Blood Scarab, etc.); Rapid Assault (with Tim Abell, Jeff Rector and Lisa Mazzetti) … a well-timed story about a killer virus about to be released by a terrorist group … and, Fugitive Rage, starring the well-endowed Wendy Schumacher (Scorned 2, Animal Instincts III) and former Penthouse “Pet of the Month” Shauna O’Brien (Bare Wench Project: Uncensored, The Seductress, etc.) as prison inmates who are recruited as a hit team to wipe out the mob.

Rounding out the collection are Fatal Combat, Shades, Inner Action, Across the Line and the sci-fi thriller, Yesterday's Target, starring Malcolm McDowell, Daniel Baldwin and Emmy-nominated “soap opera star” Stacy Haiduk (All My Children, The Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives).
